so uh, im quite confused on how to do constant poison damage, i kinda need help here, thanks!
note: what i mean by constant poison damage, is when somebody gets hit by a acid weapon or whatever, then he gets damaged, example: 1 damage, then right after, the poison deals constant damage

My method here is adding a server script and a boolValue to players to detect when they got constant poison damage :
Explanation
Adding a boolValue to player and name it “Poisoned” and the script inside player which detect whenever that boolValue is true or false.
If true then the script could damage players if necessary, you can even add a intValue named “Poison Damage” in the character if you want to custom poison damage or reduce poison damage if player drink some kind of potion
Else if false then the script will stop damaging player or you can reduce the poison damage int just like real life, poison doesn’t really gone at all once but reducing as the time goes on
And of course the attack must change the player’s boolValue in order to make player poisoned
And here’s the script if you need help with it!
Script
This script is for detecting whenever player is poisoned
local Poisoned == script.Parent:WaitForChild("Poisoned") -- you can change the name if you want
local PoisonDmg == script.Parent:WaitForChild("Poison Damage") -- you can also change the name
local Humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
Poisoned:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
if Poisoned.Value == true then
repeat
if Poisoned.Value == true then
task.wait(0.2) -- change how long you want poison to damage player for each time
Humanoid:TakeDamage(PoisonDmg)
else
break
end
until Poisoned.Value == false
elseif Poisoned.Value == false then
return
end
end)
I can’t help you with script that make player poisoned unless you provide me how do you want player to be poisoned. Like touched a poisoned part or cast spell on them

so uh, not really casting the spell, just touching a specific part, thats really just it

Then here it is :
Insert this script as a server script into a part that you want it to poison players
Local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:Connect(function(object)
if object:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model") and object:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model"):FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") then -- detect if the thing that touched the part is a player or not
local Character = object:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")
local PoisonValue = Character:FindFirstChild("Poisoned")
local PoisonDmg = Character:FindFIrstChild("Poison Damage")
if PoisonValue and PoisonDmg and Character then
PoisonValue = true
PoisonDmg.Value = 1 -- damage of the poison.
task.delay(HowLongDoIPoison?) -- change to how long you want the poison to stay with the character
PoisonValue.Value = false
PoisonDmg.Value = 0
end)
end
end
end)

Did you properly name the boolvalue? And put them all inside the Charcater model include 2 of my scripts

i named the boolvalue properly, i did both steps, is it possible to maybe change the script a bit?

Yeah i forgot this part
if PoisonValue and PoisonDmg and Character then
PoisonValue = true -- here
PoisonDmg.Value = 1 -- damage of the poison.
task.delay(HowLongDoIPoison?) -- change to how long you want the poison to stay with the character
PoisonValue.Value = false
PoisonDmg.Value = 0
end)
end
PoisonValue = true do absolutely nothing so. Change it to this PoisonValue.Value = true. Tell me if you found more erros that occur within my script

This can help?
Poison Script - it’s the first script i sent
Poisoned - A boolValue to detect whenever player has been poisoned
Poison Damage - A int value to make poison damage

Yes, insert a 2 server scripts, 1 BoolValue and 1 IntValue then put it in StarterCharcater folder and name those stuff like the image i sent above

Add a boolvalue and name it Poisoned in StarterCharacter
Add a intValue and name it PoisonDamage in StarterCharacter
Add a Script in StarterCharacter and paste this script in :
local Poisoned == script.Parent:WaitForChild("Poisoned") -- you can change the name if you want
local PoisonDmg == script.Parent:WaitForChild("Poison Damage") -- you can also change the name
local Humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
Poisoned:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
if Poisoned.Value == true then
repeat
if Poisoned.Value == true then
task.wait(0.2) -- change how long you want poison to damage player for each time
Humanoid:TakeDamage(PoisonDmg)
else
break
end
until Poisoned.Value == false
elseif Poisoned.Value == false then
return
end
end)
Add a script in the part that you want to poison player and paste this in
Local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:Connect(function(object)
if object:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model") and object:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model"):FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") then -- detect if the thing that touched the part is a player or not
local Character = object:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")
local PoisonValue = Character:FindFirstChild("Poisoned")
local PoisonDmg = Character:FindFIrstChild("Poison Damage")
if PoisonValue and PoisonDmg and Character then
PoisonValue.Value = true
PoisonDmg.Value = 1 -- damage of the poison.
task.delay(HowLongDoIPoison?) -- change to how long you want the poison to stay with the character
PoisonValue.Value = false
PoisonDmg.Value = 0
end)
end
end
end)
I apology if i didn’t get it right for you because i don’t really understand what you mean

StarterCharacterScripts you mean?, i also have a problem, when i did everything, the poison did not activate, i did follow all steps tho

The problem with the script is that this is invalid syntax:
The question mark is not good and it’s improper use of task.delay. This should be replaced with a wait(3).

nope, i have already done that, no changes, also the “HowLongPoison?” thing means to type the specific number for the poison to last, i believe the problem comes from the 1st script. please scroll up and recheck for any problems on the 1st script.

Oh, the problem with the 1st script is because it has == when defining a variable when it should be =.

nope, it is not, i already fixed that. i believe the problem is the part “Humanoid:TakeDamage(PoisonDmg)”
PoisonDmg is not a number though. You mean PoisonDmg.Value?
